1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesEnarodustat is a hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor. We evaluated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety profile of domestic enarodustat (SAL-0951) and analyzed the influence of ethnic factors.

methodsIn this phase I study, healthy Chinese participants received single and multiple oral doses (1, 5, and 15 mg) of SAL-0951 while in a fasted state. We monitored the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety characteristics and analyzed the impact of ethnicity on pharmacokinetic characteristics.

resultsIn total, 33 healthy Chinese participants were enrolled; the mean age was 31.2 ± a standard deviation of 5.5 years. After single doses of 1, 5, and 15 mg were administered under fasted conditions, SAL-0951 was rapidly absorbed. Mean maximum plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration increased dose proportionately from 0.14 to 2.54 μg/mL and from 0.63 to 9.50 h × μg/mL, respectively. The elimination half-life was 6.13, 6.32, and 6.74 h, respectively, in these three groups, and the mean value of apparent clearance ranged from 1.64 to 1.89 L/h. SAL-0951 was excreted mostly as the parent compound. It reached a stable concentration after 5 days of multiple-dose administration. We observed no drug accumulation or time-dependent pharmacokinetic characteristics and no significant difference in pharmacokinetic characteristics between Chinese and Japanese participants.

conclusionSAL-0951 was safe and well tolerated in healthy Chinese participants and had a linear pharmacokinetic profile. We found no ethnic differences in the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drug between Chinese and Japanese populations. CLINICAL
